STEPHEN KENT JOHNSON

Photographer

An art director turned photographer, Johnson primarily shoots interiors and food. This month, we asked the New Yorker to turn his lens on the new Spiral (x,y,z) hair salon in Tribeca, designed by Kazem Naderi (page 086). ‘Kazem’s vertical wood motif is mesmerising,’ says Johnson, ‘and it was really inspiring to see it implemented so beautifully.’ Johnson is currently working on various book projects with Billy Cotton, Shawn Henderson and Steven Volpe.
